gnashing teeth and broken wings spilt blood reflecting heavens glow a chilled sweat in the summer sun golden ichor mixed with pitch tar gleaming light and scarred horns iridescence floating on acrid gasoline you were the closest thing to holy i'd seen outside of church paintings i was almost afraid to touch you with my dirtied hands how was it that while i soiled you, you greeted me like a friend

Let's love each other like children lazing on the couch, raiding the kitchen Eggos and Saturday morning cartoons Don't need a marriage or a honeymoon Cherry blow pops and dollar stores playing with plastic dinosaurs Cause we're of a different breed This platonic love is all we need

Her eyes are black holes. swirling vortexes of emptiness, capturing everything in their path. Her smile is a comet. beautiful and inviting from afar, yet terrifying up close. Her words a supernova. mystifying and awe inspiring, capable of causing so much pain. Her emotions, solar flares. fleeting yet intense, unpredictable and inexplicable. She is the universe. vast and incomprehensible. I am the heavens. bringing love and light. ...if only she believed in me.

I've lied so many times, That the truth is hard to define. Am I dying or am I just fine?

They'd said, "from the path, do not stray" But oh, look at how the trees did sway Beconing you, closer to come Life lately had been rather glum So, into the forest you strolled Going against what you'd been told You never wanted to go back home Through the forest, you would roam.

I gaze upon this poison Held within my slender hand All the fates needth do Is cut a single strand.

Tobacco and wine Flowers and pine Our love was bittersweet I loved how I hated you And you hated how you loved me Together, a chaotic symphony

Eyes aching, Smile faking, When had I last slept? Hair unkept, Coffee drinking, Why am I always thinking?
